Stealth has gotten silly for me...

At lower levels, stealth was great. Unfortunately I can now sit right under the nose of draugr and pepper them with arrows without being seen... Literally four feet between us! This might want to be evaluated at some point...?

Noticed the same thing, something can be right in front of me and I'm still not detected, I think it's pretty funny on so good at sneaking I'm almost invisible >.>

That's only because you are in an unlit part of a dungeon.

You won't be able to do that out in the open at night.

I think that is the pro of playing stealth. You are a killer in dungeons, but mediocre in other areas like open combat.

Undead have problems with detecting stealth, at high level in Oblivion I was able to stand under three meter away from them and do multiple sneak shots. Even at low level in Skyrim it work nice, however bandits are much harder doing sneak attack on.

You can do it outside though. I've done it in daylight.

The stealth isn't stealth. You're either low level and get seen all the time or you're high level and invisible

There is no stealth in this game

I know right, human/mer/whateverelse statue ftw...

I think I may just sneak around less once I reach 100 skill in sneak and get the shadow warrior perk. Maybe, get the initial critical hit and then stand up and fight like a propper bosmer... ie. form 40ft away firing arrows at the practically defenceless enemies :evil:

I find more funny that there were mobs rlly hard rlly hard , which used shouts magic block etc and had problems in melee combat , and then i just ambushed him for 60% :o dmg

That's very odd because I am level 30 with 100 sneak, and falsworn people can detect me when I'm sneaking towards them at night.

Up the difficulty if you feel overpowered in any aspect, that or roll a different class of character.

I think that what you say is not a planned behavior. They bug sometimes and just stand while you shoot them to death. Most times they still detect me if I shoot them so close.
